The Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) invested nearly $600,000 in dust control measures to mitigate wind-blown dust from a 640-acre site near Interstate-10 in San Simon, Arizona. The uncontrolled dust emissions led to multiple car crashes and highway closures, prompting an emergency stabilization effort.
Gorilla-Snot®, a biodegradable copolymer emulsion, was applied to bind soil particles and create a durable, erosion-resistant crust, effectively preventing further dust emissions. Previous water-based suppression efforts had failed, making polymer-based stabilization the long-term solution for roadway safety and regulatory compliance. The treated area continues to perform effectively, ensuring improved air quality and dust control along this critical transportation corridor.

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) – Arizona has spent nearly $600,000 of taxpayer money to stabilize dust blowing off the land of a wealthy farmer and causing problems on Interstate 10.
The Arizona Daily Star report that the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality hasn’t fined or cited landowner David Turner for creating the unsafe conditions by blading 640 acres near San Simon. The department may not have the authority to do so because statutes governing air quality violations can be toothless.
The blowing dust led to car crashes and forced officials to detour cars off I-10 near Turner’s property.
Turner is a Scottsdale businessman who now lives in Atlanta. He told the Daily Star he was already working on suppressing the dust when the state stepped in and doesn’t intend to reimburse the state.
